Więcej o książce

In 1883 Agrigento, Sicily, a city once filled with hope now lies in ruins. With Cairndale destroyed and Marlowe missing, the search for a legendary second orsine, believed to be lost, becomes crucial for rescue. However, the discovery of a body near Cairndale reveals a more significant threat. A new, ferocious drughr, capable of moving freely between worlds, emerges alongside a sinister figure known as the Abbess, who seeks the dust for her own dark purposes. Meanwhile, a terrible evil stirs in the realm of the dead, with the corrupted dust potentially holding the key to its revival or destruction. The Talents embark on a perilous journey through the underworld of London exiles, bustling street markets of nineteenth-century Alexandria, and the tranquil Dalmatian coast. Faced with bone witches, mud glyphics, and a twilight house in a netherworld, they must unite to prevent the encroachment of the dead and find their lost friend. This thrilling sequel expands on the intricate worldbuilding and darkly enchanting narrative established in the first book of the trilogy.
